24wks prg & lower legs are MADDENINGLY ITCHY! How can I stop this?

i am having a similar problem right now, i'm 23 wks preg and my lower legs are itchy as well but it's due to hives (not sure from what tho)! what i find helps is cold showers (warm or hot showers make them itch even worse) and anti-itching cream. use it all day and even when you sleep. Also, if possible sleep in baggy, light material pjs or shorts to avoid rubbing. This is no cure but at least it gives me some relief from itching all the time
